For the exhibition Father, Can't  You See I'm Burning?, Michael Portnoy has “installed” another artist, namely Rán Flygenring, within the exhibition space for the purpose of relentlessly ‘roasting’ and ‘improving’ all the other works in the show, also to produce new artworks and new breeds of art inspired by the works in the show. By means of their cooperation, Portnoy and The Roaster metaphorically put all the artworks of the exhibition ‘on fire’ with unpredictable results. The goal is to accelerate the evolution of contemporary art. Rán Flygenring was selected through an open call procedure. Her residency in Amsterdam is kindly supported by the Lloyd Hotel & Cultural Embassy.

A short bio:
Rán Flygenring was born in 1987 in Oslo, Norway and brought up in Reykjavík, Iceland. She studied design in Reykjavík, Berlin and Basel and graduated as a graphic designer from the Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2009. She now works as an independent and nomadic illustrator and artist, mostly in Europe.
